While changing the clutch what else could be done... Options

[My2Celi]

Since my first stickshift Celica. This is my first time ever changing the clutch on it. I got a Chifton book hoping it help me. It kinda did but not really. It was such a pain trying to take out the tranny. Its not even down yet! So far i got all the damn bolts out on the crossmember with my bare hands, i even had to use my two legs pushing the ranch to even budge it! lol i look like a weaka$$ bit$h holding onto another car pushing it. my neighbor saw what i was doing with his car he laughed and said its okay. lmao. My next step is taking out the driveshaft. My dad is gonna lend me his 30mm socket or watever fits to take it out. anywho i was wondering while the tranny is out is there anything else i can do while its out? i dont wana EVER EVER EVER do it again. It was horrible my day off and its not even change. This is at my apt. standing on jacks. ghettoness... so give me some advice or what else is there to do while its gonna b down soon. THANKS (ill charge everything to my card to get it over with as long as i dont ever have do it again )

TTY - torque to yield ie stretch bolts like cylinder head bolts etc are non reusable. A helluva lot of bolts are reccomended not to be reused by manufacturers, notice the word reccomended. With the reccomendation in mind make up your own mind although there are certain bolts that I would never re-use just for peace of mind and knowing replacing them has helped to do the job properly.
